You can already bet real money on basketball, baseball, and football – so why not Skee-Ball, Hot Shots basketball or Dance Dance Revolution?

Dave and Buster’s , the popular restaurant and entertainment chain, is getting into the betting business.

“Friendly competition really is a big fuel for our economy, whether you’re playing golf on Sunday with your buddies, or you’re going to play pickleball or video games or even cornhole at a tailgate.
